Answers to common questions about our services and the unclaimed asset recovery process. If you need further assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out.
We reached out because our research indicates there may be unclaimed funds connected to your name as an owner, heir, or beneficiary. We only contact people after doing the research to determine there's a real chance you're entitled to the funds.
Unclaimed funds can originate from many sources, including bank accounts, safe deposit boxes, stocks and bonds, life insurance payouts, inheritances, dividends, uncashed checks, wages, insurance proceeds, tax refunds, annuities, and escrow accounts.
Holding agencies typically mail notices only to the last address on file, and rarely go further to track someone down. Funds often go unclaimed because of a move, an uncashed check, an incomplete estate settlement, an account opened for a minor that was never disclosed, or a corporate merger or closure that left assets behind.
It depends on the state or agency. In some cases a statute of limitations applies, and after enough time passes, unclaimed funds can be absorbed into the holding agency's general fund and become very difficult — if not impossible — to recover. That's why it pays to act quickly.
No. Aveida works on a contingency basis — we only get paid if we successfully recover your funds. There are no upfront costs and no hidden fees, and the terms are spelled out clearly in the agreement you sign with us.
If you received a letter, call, or email from us, reach out as soon as possible. Complete and return any paperwork we've sent, and our team will move quickly to process your claim from there.
We focus on unclaimed funds, lost money, and unclaimed property claims in Alaska, Hawaii, and Pennsylvania. Visit each state page for details on how that state’s unclaimed property program works and how to verify a claim yourself.
Our name is spelled Aveida Asset Recovery (A-V-E-I-D-A). Some browsers, spell-checkers, and voice assistants autocorrect it to “Avayda” or “Aveineda” Asset Recovery — that’s us, just misspelled.
Yes. Aveida Asset Recovery is a legitimate asset recovery service that works on a contingency basis — there is never an upfront fee, and we only get paid a percentage if we successfully recover your funds. A legitimate finder will never ask for payment before you’ve signed a written agreement, or request sensitive information like your Social Security number over the phone. We encourage every client to independently verify their unclaimed funds through their state’s official unclaimed property program (for example, Alaska’s unclaimedproperty.alaska.gov, Hawaii’s budget.hawaii.gov/finance/unclaimedproperty, or Pennsylvania’s unclaimedproperty.patreasury.gov) before signing anything, so you can be confident this isn’t a scam.
